Ghosts in the Gardens – Open Air Scare at the Denver Botanic Gardens
Times vary with tours on Oct. 26 through Oct. 29 at 1007 York St. Denver, CO 80206. Visit www.botanicgardens.org/events/special-events/ghosts-gardens for more information.
It’s spooky season, as we all know by now. And the Denver Botanic Gardens has a frightfully fun event running the last few days before All Hallow’s Eve.
The gardens invite you to stroll through the dark paths of the gardens after the sun goes down and hear tales of first had encounters by staff, including the security guards that are there in the late hours of the night into the witching hour of the morning.
The self-guided tour takes approximately an hour and a half and the speakers can be visited in whatever order you prefer.
Put your bravery to the test as you will no doubt hear spine tingling tales of what goes on in the area formerly known as “The Boneyard.” Afterall, it is directly adjacent to the undoubtedly haunted Cheesman Park.
You’re going to want to get your tickets in advance, as the availability for each time slot is limited.

Kiddies grab your pails and parents be prepared to trek around the 84 acres of Denver Zoo to celebrate the season. Nine candy stations and a bevy of spooky surprises await to satisfy even the greatest sweet tooth.
The $20 entry fee not only gets you refined sugary snacks, but there will also be a silent disco, photo ops with characters and Halloween sets, a trick-or-treat bag, and for the adults, on theme spooky cocktails.
The admission is based on time slots, so be sure to check out the link to reserve your entry time.

The Harvest Hoot is sure to be a frightfully enjoyable event for the kiddos this spooky season. The event will feature fun-filled fall activities such as carnival games, spoooooky arts and crafts and creepy cooking recipes in The Teaching Kitchen.
There will not, however, be any trick or treating at this event. But that shouldn’t discourage you from bringing the baby ghouls to enjoy a fun-filled holiday event.
Who wants to worry about those cavities anyways.
